Poem by Kate Greenaway

The Little Jumping Girls

Jump – jump – jump –
	Jump away
From this town into
	The next, today.

Jump – jump – jump – 
	Jump over the moon;
Jump all the morning
	And all the noon.

Jump – jump – jump –
	Jump all night;
Won’t our mothers
	Be in a fright?

Jump – jump – jump – 
	Over the sea;
What wonderful wonders
	We shall see.

Jump – jump – jump – 
	And leave behind
Everything evil
	That we may find.

Jump – jump – jump – 
	Jump far away;
And all come home
	Some other day.

1. Up You Go, Shuttlecocks, Ever So High!
2. It Was Tommy Who Said
3. In Go-Cart So Tiny
4. Now, All of You, Give Heed unto
5. Child’s Song
